Manic Monday--The Golden Age Siri?!?

It's Green Lantern's origin story!!

Alan Scott was the sole survivor of a train crash, because he just happened to be holding an odd green lantern...

Don't worry...the lamp will explain all, because it's exposition time!!

OK, we've got it! Now...

Oh, wait, it's not done yet...

All right! I'm up to speed! So...

Oh, wait...there's more.

Uh..."Alexa, stop?!?"

OMG, is that thing still talking?!?

Stop!!!

"OK, Google, I got it...enough!"

Whew, I thought that would never end!!

But in Alan's first little adventure...

So wait...the Lantern gave you a 3-page info dump to start, but didn't bother to mention that you were vulnerable to wood?!?

WORST. INSTRUCTION. MANUAL. EVER.

But I'll forgive it, because it's still a really great origin story...
